Hello. I’m Kayo. I was born and grow up in Kanazawa. Now a lot of international tourists come to Kanazawa. I want to tell how beautiful and peaceful in Kanazawa. I do volunteer guide of Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden in my spare time. I really enjoy talking with many people. If you are interested in my Kanazawa tour, please contact me. It’s sure you’ll know more about wonderful Kanazawa than before. I’m really looking forward to seeing you soon.

Hello my name is Junko, I am a native resident of Kanazawa and a national licensed guide. My work experience in Disney World ,Florida , has helped me develop hospitality and a deep respect for the understanding of the cultural differences.

Touring Kanazawa City and other cities, I would like to assist visitors to help them feel comfortable with warm hospitality. After my tour, I want guests of Kanazawa City to love Japan even more.

Some of my interests in Japanese culture, are in the Art, Calligraphy, and especially Tea Ceremony. For example I like visit museums and art festivals. The first art festival, called 'Oku-Noto Triennial' will be held in Ishikawa. It would be my pleasure to guide you there.

Hello, I'm Izumi. I was born and raised in Kanazawa, Japan.
I previously worked at the Ishikawa Prefectural Office and was involved in various projects such as inbound tourism, airport management and environmental policy. Leading foreign visitors around Kanazawa City and Ishikawa Prefecture was my initial experience guiding. I currently guide tours in Kanazawa, Kaga hot spring area, Noto Peninsula, Shirakawago and Takayama.

Kanazawa is a one of the largest castle towns in Japan and retains many streets and cultural elements from the old days. The city was appointed the first UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art of Japan in 2009. Kanazawa is the ideal place to see and experience traditional Japanese arts and crafts including gold leaf, Kaga Yuzen dyed-silk, lacquerware and more.

As a member of Japanese Garden and Castle Study Group I love to stroll around Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa Castle and other lovely samurai house gardens. In addition to the main tourist spots I offer traditional arts and crafts experiences, tea ceremony, Zen meditation and more.
I look forward to exploring the jewel of Kanazawa with my guests.

Hi, I’m Hiroko. I have spent all my life in a suburb of Kanazawa except for one year when I studied at New York State University.

Kanazawa is a hidden gem in Japan, from one of the top 3 most beautiful gardens to geisha and samurai districts to countless amazing museums. Kanazawa is the perfect spot to experience traditional Japan.

Hello, my name is Natsuko Shinkura. I was born and raised in Kanazawa City except for one year when I was lucky enough to live in Seattle. Throughout my life I have loved traveling the world and meeting all kinds of new people. I was bitten by the travel bug at an early age and I still feel the itch to see the world. But life is always unpredictable and just a few years after returning from America I was lucky to meet my husband, get married, and I am blessed with 2 wonderful adult daughters. Now, with more free time, I would once again like to take the opportunity to both see the world and also showcase the beautiful city of Kanazawa.

With the start of the Hokuriku Shinkansen in 2015, there has been a huge increase in the number of people who want to share the numerous treasures Kanazawa has to offer with it's amazingly delicious food, traditional architecture and arts and crafts, and beautiful Japanese gardens. I can't say I blame them. I spend much of my time now continuing to study English, of course, along with history and food, food, food. When I don't have my head in a book, you will usually find me in search of a good piece of sushi, the perfect umami, or a satisfying bowl of noodles. Why don't you join me? I look forward to sharing my experiences in Kanazawa with you.

I am a simultaneous interpreter and have worked with several celebrities and VIPS around the world.
Originally from Tokyo, but have lived in Kanazawa for over 25 years and love this city! Received my education abroad (India, Singapore, California, Paris) since the age of 8 to 22 and have a non-Japanese like outgoing character--but a good listener at the same time! I shall be very honoured to getting to know you and taking you around to the best of my ability.

I design my tours to show you the best of Kanazawa in a way that is informative & entertaining as a local woman who was born & grew up in downtown Kanazawa.

I specialize in walking tours around the backstreets of downtown
Kanazawa.
Shall we explore them together?
A walking tour with a local guide will take you on an exciting journey-not possible wlth other guides.

I have been learning ikebana-flower arrangement for 30 years, tea ceremony for 20 years and noh performance(the chanting of a noh text & shoulder-drum) for 3 years.
I am also licensed as an instructor for
flower arrangement and I teach it to foreigners in English.
I am sure my background knowledge of traditional culture will help you enjoy the incredible sites of this city.
Also, I am familiar with kimono, and I can provide a short lesson about kimono.

In addition, you will have an opportunity in Kanazawa to experience tea ceremony, or Noh performance (shoulder-drum) under each grand master if you make a reservation at least 10 days in advance.
